I believe you are thinking about Javalin https://javalin.io/news/javalin-5.0.0-stable.html

I think the argument is more that this tool by virtue of being easily accessible creates more malicious actors. Similar to how most people wouldn't steal a locked bike, but a large…

I built something related to this for our webapp. Most of the text in the app is in a language specific "key to text" map that is loaded at runtime. I made a bookmarklet that switc…

I agree, but I think you need hope in order to be happy. I.e. happiness is the combination of high hopes and low expectations. Without high hopes you could just be anticipating thi…

Found a completely good one! "Elon Musk's advice on success" Bad: 0.0000 - Good: 1.0000

If all else is equal, then additional dependencies are a bad thing. Otherwise the only reason to not depend on everything would be code size... And if it's a compiled language with…

Wouldn't the fact that if they are ok with you working on FOSS protect you? If you have the source you are free to modify it to you hearts content, right?

Would creating a GPL or BSD licensed project and then contribute to that work (in case the employer allows work on FOSS)? Then one would presumably be free to start a business usin…

IIRC RNA is made up mostly of the same nucleic acids as DNA. T (something something) is replaced by Uracil. The main difference is that DNA is double stranded whereas RNA is single…

One thing I think is missing from the current html spec is having a src attribute on select tags. Would be nice to be able to not have to define the options directly on a page and …

I like to sum this sentiment up as: "One day even Socrates will be forgotten."

That you hold a certain value is logically true as long as you actually hold that value. There is no belief necessary in that case. _Why_ you believe it, i.e. the justification for…

The crux of the matter is what should constitute sufficient evidence. Is the same level of evidence required for all beliefs? What about things for which there are no evidence, eg …

Interesting angle. Makes me ponder: What if Oracle owned Facebook?

For learning purposes I created quic[0]. I wanted to strip it down to the bare minimum for running something in a "container". I got as far as having it use a preexisting network n…

That depends on the tooling used. One way for linters and static analysers is to only run them on files touched by commits. For test coverage (if that is important) you can use som…

What I usually aim for is that all new code/commits conforms to style and other requirements like having tests etc. Usually it is possible to configure tools to only flag something…

An organisation always has some kind of culture. If it is "defined" (I interpret that as something being written down) or not doesn't really matter. Whatever is defined in that sen…

> Have we really not understood OO at all so that we have to reinvent it all the time? We haven't. I think the popular OO languages shows this. In both Java and .Net the focus is o…

Seems like a variant on "Existential Angst". Maybe not exactly, but the sense of loss of purpose feels fairly close.

There is a brief explanation here: http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/about-us/57-our-solar-syste...

> So a true post-scarcity will never exist. People will just invent new goods or services to go after in the future when today's iphones and sportscars have become affordable. Not …
